The College of St.Benilde identified career development and employment development as major areas for concentration in year three. Therefore, between 9 March and 5 April of 2003, Dr.Sid McQuay, a skilled practitioner of career education who has worked with employers across the USA to develop employment opportunities for deaf NTID graduates, served as a visiting scholar at CSB. During his stay at CSB, Dr. McQuay interacted and held seminars with more than 100 students, and conducted in-depth consultations and seminars with 15 CSB faculty, staff and administrators regarding the construction of a comprehensive career development and employment program for the deaf students of the college. Further, Dr. McQuay met with employers and officials of the US Embassy while in Manila. The visit culminated in the development of a plan to systematically address career education and employment development in the college during the year.
